SELECTMEN'S REPORT
FIRST FIVE-MAN BOARD OF SELECTMEN
Left to right: Jackson E. Bailey, Thomas F. White, Lester J. Gates, Chairman; J. Russell Harper, Robert H. Tilden.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN 1636 - 1961
To the Citizens of Scituate:
Our 325th Anniversary Year was not only a year of cele- bration and pageantry, but a year of progress and growth. For the first time in the history of our Town, five people assumed the role of an elected Board of Selectmen and have given much to the development of Scituate.
13
SELECTMEN'S REPORT
1961 clearly defined our needs for foreshore protection. Our storm of mid-October reaffirmed the dedicated task of seeking funds for this endless problem. Town Officials find themselves somewhat discouraged when they find so many pro- jects still not activated by the Division of Waterways. It is an additional burden to carry when we realize emergency requests of $38,000 plus a possible new wall construction in Minot and Humarock costing many thousands of dollars must be valued.
The time and effort spent by your Board of Selectmen on matters pertaining to dogs has necessitated a forceful and di- rected program of dog control for the immediate future, and a hope that the degree of severity of this problem will lessen.
It is obvious that the boating enthusiasts have created needs far beyond our expectations. Neeeds of ramps, proper policing of our Harbor, supervision of parking areas surround- ing these facilities are matters for immediate and future dis- cussion.
It is the duty of your Board of Selectmen not only to scruti- nize expenditures, and to seek means of savings, but also to see that proper Government services are maintained and avenues of additional revenues are explored. Your Board of Selectmen have cooperated fully with the vote of the Town and the Ac- cepted Evans Report by preparing for the various changes necessary to the proper operation of the recently installed Ac- counting machine. The future success of this new machine is dependent on cooperative effort in its use, and proper planning in the system employed in its operation.
With a goal aimed at fulfilling the Town's wish of efficiency and economy, we have submitted to the Legislature an Article seeking the creation of an office of Comptroller. This phase should represent the most important step which has been un- dertaken thus far.
To express appreciation to all who have cooperated with your Board during the year, would be endless. Let it be suffi- cient to say that if we have made a better Scituate in which to work and play, - if we have helped to make this a happier com-
14
SELECTMEN'S REPORT
munity in which to live and raise our families, - if we have given ourselves justification for the phrase - "A JOB WELL DONE" - we will have served our Town well.
Respectfully Submitted,
LESTER J. GATES, Chairman
ROBERT H. TILDEN
JACKSON E. BAILEY
THOMAS F. WHITE
